Big Revenues or Big Profits?
Walmart may be the "biggest" company but it's the oil companies that are raking up the profits. Too bad the Economist's chart of the 10 biggest companies in the world is no different from a table of numbers.
Each publication gravitates to "pet" charts: the Economist happens to like donut charts. Hopefully their editors will read this and stop using them.
